QuillmonkeySo, the MCs look interesting but most folk are going with the seeker missiles which, quite frankly, suck eggs.




THen go MC's. Overcharged and Corrosive Shell for the win. ^_^


Or go for both?!

You can’t go for both. CG only pays out to winner. What interests me is phasing sequence on MCs. Not seen this before. Would have liked to see how this worked but Grom is going to win and seeker missile prize for players who can’t play.

Don’t think I can quite be ars*d taking part in the CG for any other reason than MCs.

Good point... I've been away from E:D for months! The MCs do sound useful.

The point is that Yuri Grom is a product of the community, so in my opinion, even if the Federation had put a fully engineered Federal Corvette up as a prize, it would still lose to CG.

I wouldn't bet on that. Yuri Grom is supported mainly by few big Russian squadron's, but if we had a rigged reward, especially a ridiculous one as you suggest, the masses would roll over Yuri's dead corpse.

What sense does phasing make on MCs? Their optimal use is when shields are down, so there isn't anything anymore that can be phased through.

Yeah, I agree.
Just said it was interesting, not that it was good. But maybe it could find a use on kinetic only builds. Could have been worth an experiment. All theoretical as the CG is not worth participating as it stands.

Nevertheless, Yuri Grom in the power play ) and it is precisely because of the coherence and persistence of "few" Russian squadrons )) I do not think that the RU segment is ready to part with this achievement )) But this is just my opinion and not more ))

Interesting that the Yuri Grom strike is taking place alongside some development in Torval's story. Perhaps there is a bit of a shakeup for the powerplay characters on the cards?

Is the CG space only or can ground combat bonds also be handed in?

Lore-wise, Yuri Grom`s capture is not fair, and Federation forces are villains in this situation. Fun fact: Yuri Grom very much looks like Russian businessman Evgeny Chichvarkin, who was forced to sell his assets in Russia and moved to UK in 2008 due to his criticism of Vladimir Putin. Google his photos, the resemblance is around 100%.

Just made 400mil for delivering around 830t of Tritium to a Fortune-Class Carrier.
That was the quickest earned money ever

Ground based combat bonds work as well, as long as they get submitted at the megaship.

Just got ganked for the first time. Managed to escape destruction twice, limped in to dock on Indomitable with 4% hull left.

That was “fun”

Think I might help our comrade in solo for a while.

I'd been out in the black for 11 months and upon returning to the bubble was ganged within 30 minutes. I didn't miss that part of the game one little bit. Teach me to play in open until I up my combat skills, which suck.

For me the saddest part is that I play on XBox and am in GMT+10, so this was only the second other human player I have ever seen in the game.
